Explanation. My current involvement with the Net is primarily with city
TLDs, those long banished entities, a DNS lacuna soon to be filled ( go
.nyc!). Presuming these entities, home to more than 50% of the world's
population, succeed in work their way into the DNS as public interest
serving entities, their role in the Net's governance structure must be
considered. Thus if we're agreed that "<font face="Times New Roman"
size="3">One thing however is clear by now; the Internet is not just a
technical artifact, requiring technical governance with regard to
keeping it running smoothly, but a key socio-political phenomenon" then
governance is required, not internationalization. Perhaps that
governance is internationalized, but governance is the important point.</font></span></font></div>

</b>As the Internet becomes a key factor of reorganizing our
social structures, and doing so at a global level as never before,
democratic global governance of the Internet is a pressing imperative.
Its present governance structures grew out of certain historical
contexts, as well as of some new socio-political realities around the
Internet. In the context of rapid changes that the Internet has
wrought, the key and emerging issues related to its governance, and the
correspondingly legitimate governance arrangements, could not have been
anticipated by anyone. One thing however is clear by now; the Internet
is not just a technical artifact, requiring technical governance with
regard to keeping it running smoothly, but a key socio-political
phenomenon requiring participative political governance by all people
of the world, who are all implicated.<span> </span>However, the
direction we move in from here depends on where we stand. It is
important to analyze the needs of evolution and internationalization of
IG from these dual standpoints. <O:P></O:P></p>

It is best that this workshop is organized by civil society actors. IG
